Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Search

Advanced Search Options

To further refine your search, you can use additional qualifiers such as score:>0.5. For example, the search score:>=0.5 created:<1y grammar would return only posts mentioning "grammar" that have a score >= 0.5 and were created less than a year ago. Use category:<ID> to restrict your search to one category (the ID is what's shown after /categories/ in the URL).

Further help with searching is available in the help center.

Quick hints: tag:tagname, user:xxx, "exact phrase", post_type:xxx, created:<N{d,w,mo,y}, score:>=0.5

Q&A Giving a fish vs. teaching how to fish

Varying utility I think you and I have tossed around ideas like this quite a bit already - if not between the two of us, then separately to the crowd. And I think my viewpoint hasn't changed. Per...

Q&A What can be done to block Codidact content from getting used by crawlers/for AI training?

There is no technical measure that could possibly guarantee that we won't get scraped. It comes down to symbolic gestures and hoping they will comply voluntarily. I do think we should do as many "s...

Q&A Assessing the 5 tag limit

Such a tag limit seems low to me, though I can't think of any specific cases in which more than 5 tags would apply. However, I'm not sure what the use in limiting this upfront is; I'm not sure it s...

Q&A A way to prohibit creating certain tags.

Some thoughts: If e.g. profanity in tags is becoming an issue, that should definitely be dealt with, perhaps with a regex filter. (If a community runs into the Scunthorpe problem this way, a f...

Q&A A way to prohibit creating certain tags.

I don't see anything wrong with a way to ban tags, other than it would require more coding from CD devs. Nothing wrong with that - you need to break some eggs if you want an omelette. However, may...
